Exploring patient and NHS staff acceptability of artificial intelligence-supported surgical wound monitoring within the WISDOM feasibility study: a multi-centre qualitative interview study.

Perinatal asphyxia can cause neurodevelopmental impairment depending on the severity of associated hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE), and may negatively affect parental mental health and parent–infant bonding. Parental stress and trauma remain high after perinatal asphyxia regardless of HIE severity or child developmental outcomes. Parents of children classified as only mildly affected particularly report insufficient psychosocial support during hospitalisation. Psychological support should be offered to all patient-families following perinatal asphyxia, irrespective of HIE severity or treatment. Family-centred care models need to address parental mental health needs alongside neonatal care.
